> BTW, I had a problem before where if I changed a user quota using vpop's vsetuserquota, the maildirsize file in the user's maildir will automagically get deleted, but never recreated by maildrop (for the domain I was doing filtering for) So that's why i put the check in mailfilter script to see if maildirsize needs to be recreated. Shouldn't maildrop create the maildirsize file if it doesn't exist? I think when I used vdelivermail, it created maildirsize when a new message was received in the mailbox that didn't have maildirsize in place, but with quota limit on it. Now, as far as I recall, Bill Shupp made the maildir++ patch based on the code from maildrop, so I am not surprised it doesn't recreate the maildirsize file ;-) Respectfully, Tim Hasson
